There are currently three (3) areas that are inaccessible by vehicle: the Oka Cabin area, the Big Sandpit, and the Nikanaw�:sa Bridge. Caretakers are on location and checking the conditions of cabins and roads in flooded areas. Owners of affected flooding will be contacted.
The caretakers will continue assessing the flooding levels until the areas are deemed safe for access, at which time an announcement will be made. In the meantime, community members are asked not to call the Caretakers to inquire about updates on their cabins.
